Little red riding hood

Hey fellow readers……how are you all? I hope you enjoyed my last blog entry.  It was definitely a pleasure to wear. Well today is the birthday of a very dear friend of mine. To celebrate her earth day she having a BBQ (I hope the weather holds up. For today’s look I wanted to look kitch but cute……Kind of a modern day little red riding hood look. So I teamed a navy blue tea dress with some red ballerina pumps and a red cardigan. I went for vintage gold accessories with a navy bag and belt. I hope you enjoy the look. Please feel free to leave your comments. I will let you know how the BBQ went. Oh and I’m supposed to be going to TOGETHER today so if I do go I might have another outfit to post.

Monochrome, pleated pleasures and the meeting of great minds

Hey guys, sorry I have not blogged in a while. But I have been working on some new Ankara creations and some other new and exciting projects. On Monday I had to head up to Shoreditch for a round table brain storming session. The topic is strictly classified information ……but all will be revealed eventually. I can honestly say I was rubbing minds with some fantastic people. For my look today I wanted to exude professional playfulness, so I teamed a black vest top with a monochrome blocked pleated skirt, staple black cardigan, faithful black leather ballet pumps with a fem black satchel.

Sassy, Tan and Sweet

Today was a beautiful day.  I took my daughter to a birthday party and then I went to meet an old friend for a late lunch. We went to a cosy little bar that serves food. We devoured some tasty finger foods and knocked back some cocktails……..’Dee’s triple rum cocktails’ to be exact.  It was good to catch up with my home girl. So for today’s look I went for a sassy but casual look. I hope you like it. I’m working on a new Ankara Bar-bie creation so stay tuned. Hope your enjoying the weekend. Thanks for reading xxx

High fashion food for thought

I came across these truly inspirational and beautiful images and felt the need to share them with you all. African textiles are truly versatile, vibrant, unique and ecliptic. Gosh!

Tangerine ice cream

Last night I went out with the girls to a rave……or should I say a ‘meat market’. Totally not my type of thing. However it was good to spend time with the girly whirlies. I have two looks to show you in this blog entry. The first look is another creation made and styled by Ankara Bar-bie  (moi). The next is an example of a look that I styled for my co-d Duchess BK.
